El estilo como sobrevivencia is a collective cartography produced from a workshop with artists who are refugees in the border town of Cúcuta, Colombia. Part of the exhibition Juntos Aparte, in the framework of the BIENALSUR, the work hinges on interviews with hairdressers, barbers, tattoo artists and their clients (both Colombians and Venezuelans), highlighting the emergence of hybrid styles and a professional sector where survival tactics open up potential spaces and generate new forms of empowerment.

Thanks to all the artists and crew of Juntos Aparte who participated in this collective research on the traces of migration and its impact on local aesthetics. **Jaime Villamizar, Raúl Rondón, Richard Moncada, Juan Mariño, Catalina Fuentes, Doguet, Mily and of course, Alex Brahím.
